Fujikura introduces new Fibre Recoater Series

6 January 2015

LOCATION. Chessington UK. January 6, 2015. Fujikura is
introducing a new series of Fujikura fibre recoaters - the FSR-05,
FSR-06 and FSR-07. The recoaters feature easy-to-exchange moulds
for common coating sizes including 196 µm, 255 µm, 280 µm, 450 µm,
670 µm and 1,000 µm. All recoaters consist of a programmable resin
injection quantity and colored and non-colored fibre recoating
capability. The FSR-06 and FSR-07 recoaters include proof testers
to test the strength of fibre after recoating.

The FSR-05 recoater is the only model without a proof tester and
is ideal for manufacturers that don't require constant proof
testing after each recoat. The FSR-06 model includes a proof tester
with a linear clamping system for devices in which confirmation of
reliability is required. The FSR-07 includes a mandrel proof tester
and is ideal for reliability proof testing as well as tension
testing to failure.

All fibre recoaters feature automatic and easy operation as well
as easy mould and recoat material exchange. Additionally, the
recoaters include a PC interface via USB. Compatible with special
recoating compound, the recoaters provide a higher stiffness
recoating of 900 µm jacketed fibres.

The new recoaters provide advanced recoating solutions for
applications in fibre laser, fibre sensing, submarine and optical
components. The FSR Series is the latest addition to enhance
Fujikura's ARCMaster™ product line which includes the LZM-100 laser
splicing system, specialty fusion splicers, specialty cleavers,
strippers and accessories.
